Carbon Dioxide Utilisation

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) utilisation processes convert CO₂ into commercially viable products and can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. While generally unreactive, CO₂ can be activated through catalysis to yield a vast array of chemical feedstocks, intermediates and value-added products. This discussion presents CO₂ utilisation from a holistic approach, identifying where its predicts yield viable profits that can be used alongside process efficiencies to off-set the cost of the carbon capture technologies required to mitigate against climate change.

Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned. The latest (2012) impact factor of Faraday Discussions is 3.82.
